Welcome, CD! Sounds like you're in the right place!

Best bang for the buck- Tekton. The bigger the better. I have Pendragons. I'd like to have Double Impacts. Someday...

I believe in the Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1 (car Subs) to fill in the bottom properly. I have used them a few times and I'm back. They only need a 0.67 cu.ft. sealed box. I use no crossovers, just a couple of silver 7t's. Seamless!

WXPN Robert Drake. LotL. Tonight! Siouxsie Sioux and more. 80's! Click on the top link.

Nice! and Welcome! I enjoy four Silver 7t's. Great Amps!

Cool. Get the right tweeters! Upgrade the crossovers. Nothing wrong with a nice pair of Monitor 10's!

As an alternative, you might just install a more modern plate amp. Parts Express has quite a selection, HERE. Or, just make it passive, bypass the internal amp and run it with a Carver power amp. Welcome!

Building a Conn Organ tube amp? 5KΩ resistors are needed in some with field coil speakers when using permanent magnet speakers. The field coils were used as chokes in the power supply. I just bought a pair for a project.

There must be some Sony ES models up there, no? They play SACD's quite nicely. I only have 4 or 5.😎

Thanks.

HERE is an eBay listing for $32.90 shipped! They actually have four of Dire Straits' MoFi SACD's for that price😎

Is it 5.1 surround SACD or Stereo SACD? It doesn't say...

Start your own thread, so we can go down another hole. Tell us what you have and your listening tastes...

Nah, we need to find out what John likes before we go there.😎

Uh, a CARVER AMP!

John, I'm going to bomb your email with local speaker deals. 😱 Be very afraid!

Uh, oh. 🙀 Liking 901's isn't good. You were supposed to not like them, and learn from your experiences. 😣You may need professional help.🤓 Not to pick on you, but there is something missing in your signature: Don't just hear the music, listen to it......... Great Room 2-channel audio: Carver TX-11a, Carver C-1 BillD (Bonzoro), JAVA tube buffer (4Krow), ADC SS-315x equalizer, Yaqin MS110B tube amp, Yamaha K-2000 DBX Cassette, Carver SD/A 490t CD, Sony DTC-690 DAT, Yamaha MDX-793 MiniDisc, Yamaha MCX-1000 Media Player/Recorder, Paradigm Monitor 9 series speakers, Paradigm 3200 sub-woofer.

Simple answer: Yes. One of my first stellar combos was Carver M-500t and Polk Monitor 10's. The Polk/Carver combo is very good in my opinion, and the opinion of many others. There are numerous more... Paradigm's, apparently, they are decent enough, but rather pedestrian in my experience. You can do much better. There is a big difference! First you have to find out what type of speaker you like best. There are horns, planars, panels, electrostatics, ribbons and all kinds of other drivers. Personally, I'm partial to soft dome mids and tweeters as well as ring radiators. Your ears are unique, as well as your taste in music. Also important is volume, how loud do you want it? I like it loud, like live venue loud. All of these things make a difference in choosing speakers. One factor that isn't important is budget. Nope, you will spend a fortune. Yes, you will. Here's an incomplete list of speakers I feel play well with Carver Amps that you can buy for about a grand or less: Klipsch Heresy- high efficiency horns, if you like these, you can go down the path dropping cash like breadcrumbs on big Altec's and Klipschorns, maybe even JBL's.. Polk Monitor 10's- nice warm speakers, lots of DIY mods and factory support on a long line of small to monstrous speakers, both vintage and modern. ADS L810- Vintage soft dome drivers at their best. Gateway to lots of great East Coast speakers like Snell, Advent, KLH... Bose 901- They can suck up a ton of power. Go ahead, experience them. Then move on to something better. Even the engineers at Bose listen to anything but. JBL L100- The best of the West Coast sound. Very clean sound. You can spend a lot going down this road! Carver Amazings- Because, you know, Carver. AL-III's if you have a smaller room.

Imagine no more. Tekton Pendragon's... Insanely better than their pricetag!

Just in case anybody wanted to see the cover... Somebody new post!

Correcto! You're up again.
